GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain the internal environment of the body within limits that allow it to survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homeostasis in mammals involves physiological control systems that maintain the internal environment within restricted limits. The importance of maintaining a stable core temperature and stable blood pH in relation to enzyme activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis is maintained by a series of control mechanisms functioning at the organ, tissue or cellular level. These control mechanisms include substrate supply, activation or inhibition of individual enzymes and receptors, synthesis and degradation of enzymes, and compartmentalization.

Detailed explanation-4: -The internal environment is the environment in which cells are found and is thus defined as the fluid inside the body, but outside of cells. The fluid inside the cells in the body is the intracellular fluid, also called cytoplasm (cytosol and the fluid inside organelles).

Detailed explanation-5: -In short, the purpose of homeostasis is to maintain the established internal environment without being overcome by external stimuli that exist to disrupt the balance.
